Can You Tighten a Loose Canvas AFTER its Been Painted?

Have you ever started with a tight canvas only to have it sag after painting? Well today I am actually going to pour an abstract flower on a swiped background and then I will show you what happened to the canvas after it dried and how to tighten the canvas.

My paints are mostly Amsterdam Acrylics Standard Series and I occasionally throw in some Pebeo. I mix them with an inexpensive pouring medium (no water added) and I mixed it to the right consistency which for this style of acrylic pouring the paint leaves minimal trace on the surface before disappearing into the cup. In other words once the paint flows off the stick into the paint it doesn't really leave a mound on the surface but it disappears slowly back into the paint.
